EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures the moment of triumph and history-making as Cosmonaut Major Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin (1934-1968) steps off an airplane at the Chkalovsky Airfield in Gagarin's hometown of Gagarin, Russia, on March 27, 1961. Having become the first human to journey into outer space and orbit the Earth aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft on April 12, 1961, Gagarin's return to Earth was met with jubilation and awe from the Soviet people and the world. Surrounded by journalists, photographers, and a thronging crowd, the humble cosmonaut greets the public with a warm smile, his military uniform and distinctive cap adding to his celebrity status. This image encapsulates the spirit of human achievement and the pioneering era of space travel in the 1960s.
